So, while the U.S. Congress and Executive branch bans oil exploration in Alaska, and offshore around the U.S., Brazil, Venezuela, Russia, other countries around the world and even Cuba are going full speed ahead.
While Americans whine about the price of oil, the rest of the world is thinking, “what a bunch of losers.
Don’t get me wrong; I am all for protecting the environment, our beaches and Alaska, but if we can’t cut our oil consumption to existing levels of domestic production what is going to happen? The answer from Congress cannot be simply No Drilling. We alone cannot save the world environment and while we try we are slipping further down the list of the worlds economic powers.
Don’t tell me the environment is more important than the economy, it sounds good but it is not reality (I wish it was). Congress passes laws to protect us and in the process further screws up our economy and our future and protects us from what?
If Fidel lives long enough he will see Americans begging to buy Cuban oil, just as we do from Hugo Chavez (have you visited a Citgo station recently?)
Remember your Congressman when you have to switch to the new fluorescent light bulbs and drop one then have to leave the house for ten minutes while the mercury disperses (read the label). :-6
